Sand spring onion is a kind of wild vegetable that we like to eat here. In fact, it is called wild vegetable. It is not a leafy vegetable like a vegetable. It has a taste very similar to spring onions. It looks like a spring onion when I was young. Because the growth conditions are very special, it must grow in the sandy Gobi at a higher altitude, so it is called sand onion. Every spring is the season to eat sand spring onions, most of them are bought by small vegetable vendors, and very few pick them by themselves. The price starts from 3 yuan per 100 grams to 10 yuan per kilogram, 10 yuan per kilogram of sand spring onions. It's nearing the end, and the green onions are not so tender anymore. Most of the way to eat scallions here is to scramble eggs with scallions and wrap lamb dumplings with scallions. It’s a pity that I have only seen sand onions growing in the desert Gobi when I was young, and I did not see adult sand onions. It is said that sand onions bloom in light red, lavender and purple-red, and the flowers are shaped like a spherical shape. If you have the opportunity, you have to look at the color and shape of the flowering onion to make up for this regret. Sand onion is a favorite delicacy in the Northwest. Various dishes cooked with scallions, meat, eggs, etc., have a strong local flavor. Sand onion has high nutritional value, has certain medicinal value, is rich in multiple vitamins, and has a certain effect on lowering blood pressure. The pickled products have a refreshing taste, mellow and spicy taste, which can help digestion and invigorate the stomach. It can be described as a good product in food.
